Chapter 13

The next day at Dinner.

"Soo, what do you think Dumbledore has to say?" Asked Narcissa who was shoving her mouth with turkey.

"I'm not sure, I hope it's something good at least." Severus answered.

Narcissa has asked this question a million times, or at least Severus has heard it a million times from both Narcissa and Lily. He was just trying to eat his dinner quickly so that he could get it over with. Severus of course wasn't the one eating, he was too stressed to have an appetite. It was Harry he was waiting on.

"Harry, do you think you could hurry up? Just a little!"

Harry nodded and began, like Narcissa, to shove food in his mouth. "Don't shove it in your mouth! You could get sick!" Hissed Severus who was now holding Harry's arms to his sides to get him to slow down.

Around five minutes later Harry finally finished his food. "Papa, I'm done!" Harry beamed. "I see that." Said Severus as he stood up. "Wish me luck Narcissa!" Severus yelled behind him.

As he was walking down the corridors he bumped into someone familiar, James.

"Oh there you are Severus, I've just come to get you. We're all waiting for you." James rolled his eyes. "Sorry, Harry's a slow eater."

"Right, did you eat? I've noticed you don't eat sometimes at meals." Said James who was giving him a disapproving look.

"Ye-" Severus started but was cut off.

"No! Papa didn't eat. Cissy twied to get him to but he wouldn't." Exclaimed Harry. Tattletale, thought Severus.

"No wonder you're always tired when taking care of Harry. Food is supposed to give you energy, you know." Said James who was now taking Harry out of Severus's hands.

"Well you can't blame me! Harry stresses me out, and when I get stressed I lose any source of appetite." Severus rambled as they started to approach the Gargoyle.

"Shit I didn't ask for the password." Said James who was now mentally face palming.

"Don't swear in front of him!" Snarled Severus.

"Potter, Snape, Come in." Said Professor Mcgonagall. It was as if she knew we were there. She wore a firm expression. Severus wondered if she was hoping that they found a way to get Harry home so she wouldn't have to 'babysit' anymore.

"Mr. Snape, and I see you've brought young Harry." Said the happy voice of Albus Dumbledore. There were three people (Probably Aurors or Unspeakables) that were standing next to the desk that Dumbledore was sitting at.

"Please, take a seat." He smiled, gesturing towards the seats that Severus and Lily had sat at just two weeks ago.

"Now you are probably wondering why I've summoned you here," Dumbledore started as Mcgonagall stood next to the Auror closest to Dumbeldore. "I've asked you here because I wanted to inform you that Aurors and Unspeakables are incredibly close to the answer on how to get Harry back."

James sighed in relief as Harry started giggling. "But what they're missing is how he even got here. Did Harry use a time turner? Or something of the sort."

"Harry, do you have any memory of how you traveled back in time?" Asked James as he turned Harry to face him. "Big powtal!" Exclaimed Harry, who was stretching his arms out for an 'example' of the Portal.

"Well in that case if he says it's a portal we should be able to get him back sooner now that we have a source to go by." Spoke the Auror next to Mcgonagall. "And how are you planning to even get him home?" Asked Severus.
